We have SQL 2008 (not R2) running under Server 2008.

We're getting a new Server 2012 box and would like to re-use the Server 2008 license.

Any compatibility issues we should be aware of?

Thanks much,

Mark

I found this link which shows compatibility between different flavors of SQL Server and Windows Server.

https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562

So, I am good for 2008 under Server 2012. Useful link to have for other combinations too.

Found the same thing this morning.

We are rebuilding a server after a Microsoft update killed our old one.

Unfortunately when I went to do the install of SQL, our system guy put the wrong version of SQL install file on the server. He put Express, I need Standard...
